Is this the correct oil cooler that everyone runs on VWs? I am not sure since i'm fairly new to buggies.

I am always looking to keep things simple. I did not want to deal with a fan, switch and relays so I ran my standard dog house cooler on the shroud and added this cooler as well as a oil filter off my engine. I ran a 2276 all day long and it never got hot

I ran a small one mounted on my shroud for years it worked pretty good and I went to a junkyard and found a bigger one and a fan to fit it. I wired the fan to my coil so the fan comes on went the switch does

Does this brand of oil cooler hold up pretty well?

We've run those for years, with good results.
I would get the whole kit, with thermostat that controls fan also, fan lasts forever if it doesn't have to run all the time.
I usually wire a toggle switch to control the fan also, so I can manually control the fan for long climbs.

You can get them all over the place. Search Aluminum Finned "Dual Pass" Transmission Cooler - 18"

It is actually made to be a Trans Cooler but worked great as an oil cooler.
